As I sat here on this soggy, dark and gloomy Labor Day with a glass of orange juice by my side nursing a cold I figured I needed to find something to do to occupy my time. I mean, after all…a cookout WAS out of the question considering the weather. The gym was not gonna happen given my current state. And well, let’s just say the “maid” wasn’t gonna make an appearance around these parts either. I decided today was going to be “inspiration day” for me. It’s been quite some time since I’ve just taken a day to do what I want and find what inspires me. That meant no editing…no client phone calls or email…no business related anything whatsoever. It meant perusing the blogs of some of my favorite photographers that I’ve neglected for say, 6 months (boy, was that a lot of catching up…and I promise to leave you guys blog love next time around!). It also meant thumbing through all types of magazines from wedding (Unveiled & grace ormonde Wedding Style) to home furnishings (West Elm) to fashion (Vogue & InStyle). Now, rarely do I ever take the time to sit down and thumb through a magazine. I mean, I have subscriptions to a ton…and I have good intentions of shutting the computer and looking through them…but far too often they end up in a pile “for another day”. Today was my day. Today I reminded myself of why I get subscriptions to these magazines…and why I WANT to look through them. I found beautiful art and inspiration in every single magazine. It’s amazing how easy it is to forget….and at the same time it is also exciting how easy it is to fall back into finding beauty in the smallest of things. I reconnected. I relaxed. It was a thing of beauty.

All of that to say that I was prompted to post some of my recent work (perhaps slightly violating my “no work rule” today). The last time I tried to post to my blog I was unable to attach pictures to my post. Now…for a “writer” or “poets” blog, to not be able to post pictures would kinda stink. But for a photographer’s blog, it’s darn near tragic. I mean, what photographer doesn’t post pics with an entry???? GASP! So I was certain I’d be able to figure out the problem today. I was, after all, determined and on a mission to keep fueling this inspiration frenzy I had going on. After trying to post on three different computers and three different browsers I still remained unsuccessful….and very much defeated by my own blog. It drop kicked me yet again. So….the time has come to switch blogs. It’s been a much needed change for quite some time actually. I mean, my blog has needed a “face lift” of sorts. So I figure instead of dressing up this one I’ll go ahead and get a brand new blog and start fresh. And kick this stubborn and moody little number to the side.;-)

Stay tuned for details!
